Interviews with the young boy led police to determine that the 35-year-old man had been dead for some 24 to 48 hours, according to the Associated Press.

The boy is currently staying with his grandparents.

"Who knows what might've happened to the kid if we didn't find out about this place, Craciun told KMVT.
